Well, why don’t he build some huge housing structure so that he can rent out units for 100 bucks a month? I love it when capitalists complain about capitalism…

Title of the article is misleading… his main reason for leaving is…
Thiel said the Southern California move is in large part because he’s fed up with the Bay Area’s progressive politics and also because he’s become increasingly pessimistic about the future of the tech industry.
